So You’re Ready for College? Here are some resources

For most students, college can be an incredibly exciting time. You may be away from home for the first time, experiencing independence and new found freedom. You may also be making new friends, learning new things, and discovering things about yourself that you never knew before. However, college can also be scary and demanding for many students. Managing your own schedule, studying, and being totally responsible for yourself can be overwhelming.

Knowing how to manage your own schedule is a skill that many students learn while in college. Mom and Dad are no longer there to coax you out of bed, to cook for you, or remind you to study. You may have to do your own laundry for the first time, and it is completely your responsibility now to get yourself to class on time. Thankfully, staying organized and managing your schedule is a learned skill. It can come more naturally to some than others, but there are myriad tools to help you get and stay organized.
